FWIW, I was having problems with my Haiku HD also... it all started
after I messed around with bootman and makebootable on my Haiku
partition. It would boot fine on one machine, but not on another. No
matter how many times I destroyed and repartitioned with BFS, it kept
causing problems where Haiku's bootloader wouldn't see it.
I finally corrected the problem by removing all the partitions,
repartitioning as FAT and initializing, and then re-partitioning as
BFS again.
I can only assume some chunk of the disk was left in a bad state that
the Haiku bootloader couldn't cope with... by initializing as FAT, and
switching it back, it must have cleared it up.
Re-writing the MBR didn't help in my trials either.
